Restaurants In Cape Town

Uyaphi was established in 1999 in Durban and moved to Cape Town in 2002. In that time, we have seen this city transform from a sleepy (if beautiful) backwater to a city of international standing. Rio, Sydney, Monaco, Cape Town - you get the idea.

As a reflection of this status, restaurants have multiplied both in quantity and variety.

After a non-scientific poll of our staff and much fun in the discussion, we have compiled this selection of our favourite restaurants.

It is not exhaustive, and it is entirely subjective, but we challenge anyone not to enjoy the list we have compiled in no particular order of preference.

NOTE: At this stage, we are unsure of which restaurants have survived or not; COVID has been particularly hard on the hospitality industry here in South Africa. We will update this page as soon as we have more clarity on the situation.

Recommended Cape Town Restaurants

  • Kloof Street House

    Kloof Street House

    30 Kloof Street, Cape Town. 021 423 4413. In their own words "an eclectic colonial inspired restaurant and bar set in a magnificent Victorian house". That about sums it up. You come here for the atmosphere. The rooms are adorned with impressive paintings, relics and curios giving off a more Bohemian than the colonial vibe. You will also the food with a varied menu utilising fresh local ingredients. Also most enjoyable for a cocktail on the lawn.

  • Azure Restaurant

    Azure Restaurant

    The Twelve Apostles Hotel, Victoria Road, Camps Bay. 021-4379029. In this beautiful hotel situated in splendid isolation between Camps Bay and Llandudno, you will find a restaurant which is both relaxed and opulent and an environment in which you feel immediately comfortable. With sweeping views of the Atlantic, you will eat a broad variety of dishes. Sunday brunch is a treat. This restaurant pulls off the rare trick in which you could have an intimate tete a tete evening but which is also very welcoming for families.

  • The Foodbarn

    The Foodbarn

    Noordhoek Farm Village, Noordhoek Main Road, Noordhoek. 021-7891390. In a relaxed semi rural environment and unpretentious surroundings, you will probably enjoy some of the best French cuisines in the country. The French chef and owner Franck Dangereux has created dishes of natural taste, smells and textures, and much character. My personal favourite.

  • Sevruga Restaurant

    Sevruga Restaurant

    Quay 5, V&A Waterfront, Cape Town.021-4215134. An excellent V&A Waterfront restaurant, specialising in sushi and seafood. The interiors are lush, but you want to sit outside on the terrace and observe the world with a cocktail in your hand.

  • The Round House Restaurant

    The Round House Restaurant

    Round House Road (off Kloof Road), The Glen, Camps Bay. 021-4384347. Another historical Cape building with sweeping views of Camps Bay, the Twelve Apostles Mountains and the ocean. The main restaurant is fine dining bending European cuisine with African ingredients. The wine list and pairing menus are excellent. During the summer season, the lawns are opened up for a more comfortable dining experience with comfort foods under the banner of the 'The Rumbillion Lawns'.

  • Buitenverwachting Restaurant

    Buitenverwachting Restaurant

    Klein Constantia Road, Constantia. 021- 7943522. Further down the Constantia Valley, you will enjoy one of the finest dining experiences in the country. In this old established vineyard, the Austrian chef combines the best local ingredients (the game dishes are mouth watering) with the best European traditions. Enjoy your meal with the excellent wines of the estate and take your time. This quality cannot be rushed.

  • Bistro 1682

    Bistro 1682

    Steenberg Vineyards, Tokai. 021-7132211. One of the oldest vineyards in South Africa hosts one of the most contemporary buildings and raises the standard of casual dining restaurants. Whether it is the tapas menu or the raw bar with dishes of sashimi, gravadlax, ceviche, carpaccios and oysters; you will be impressed by the quality and originality of the food. This place is a must visit even if it's only for a cocktail.

  • Shark Cage Diving Cape Town

    Shark Cage Diving Cape Town
    If you live in South Africa, shark cage diving is one of those questionable activities which divides opinion. On the one hand, you have certain conservationists who claim that chumming (luring sharks by throwing bloody bait into the water) is dangerous and alters the balance of marine life and makes sharks lose their fear of humans.

    Climbing Table Mountain
    The Table Mountain Aerial Cableway is closing down from the 22nd July till the 25th August; it’s the longest closure for many years. Urgent replacement work is needed as well as seasonal repairs. So, no getting to the top by the cable car.

  • Design in Cape Town

    Design in Cape Town
    With the Design Capital motto of "Live Design; Transform Life" serving as a leitmotif, Muizenberg is experiencing an unprecedented and exciting wave of investment, community involvement and physical regeneration.

  • Horse Riding in Cape Town

    Horse Riding in Cape Town
    New Zealand has taken over the mantle as the adventure capital of the world. From bungy jumping to rafting, from mountain biking to hiking. What people sometimes forget is that you can do all these activities and more, right here in Cape Town. We just don't shout about it as much.

  • Constantia Winelands, What to Do?

    Constantia Winelands, What to Do?
    Just the name of the Cape Town winelands suggests a lazy weekend outing to Stellenbosch or Franschhoek, tasting some excellent wines and then a relaxed luncheon at one of the numerous vineyard restaurants. What people forget is that you can do this right on the doorstep of Cape Town itself within a twenty minute drive south from the city centre to the Constantia Valley.
